Arlene Lucille Reynolds was born on September 29, 1923 to Irwin and Luetta (Schoer) Gibbs on the family farm in Redwood County. She attended country school through the 8th grade and was baptized and confirmed at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Belview.

On October 11, 1942, Arlene was united in marriage to Eldon Reynolds at the English Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls. They made their home on a farm outside of Redwood Falls for a short time before moving to a farm near Echo until 1970. In 1970, they moved into Echo until 1980 when Eldon passed away. After Eldon passed away, Arlene moved to Belview and in 1984 moved to Redwood Falls. She was a homemaker most of her life but did work for 10 years at the Parkview Nursing Home in Belview. She was a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls and attended services faithfully while she could drive. Otherwise she watched the televised version and was active with the Ladies Circle Club and the Quilters group.

Arlene enjoyed going for car rides the most. She loved to see the seasons change and to get out into the fresh air. She also liked people watching, reading, shopping, taking care of her grandchildren, playing cards such as Skipbo, Uno and Whist with her neighbors, and loved just spending time with her family.

On Monday, October 22, 2012, Arlene passed away at the Sunwood Care Center in Redwood Falls at the age of 89.
